With what I've been experiencing with <<tuning>> the back
scale lately I wonder if the major benifit of over pulling has more to
do with insuring that the back length has enough tension (compared with
the speaking length) on it more then it has to do with anything else.<br>

In last month's discussion of wire stretch, someone mentioned pulling a
new<br>
string a semitone sharp to take care of any future stretch along all its<br>
segments.<br>
<br>
Is a 'semitone' overpull common practice for new (plain-wire) strings?<br>
<br>
Would you do this as part of a full re-stringing as well, or is this
just a<br>
habit when trying to get a new single-string replacement stable?<br>
<br>
I've never done so, but can't see the harm with fresh new wire. Anyone
want<br>
to educate me on the subject?<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
